Guest Speaker: Julia Hess

Finding His Voice:David Egan

Our key note speaker is Julia Hess, CRW, SPRED Regional Center in Chicago. Julia has been involved in SPRED for over 30 years. Julia began her life’s work as a passionate advocate and friend to parents and individuals seeking a place of joy, hope and celebration for their loved ones with intellectual disabilities. Julie and her husband, Bob have worked to establish Regional SPRED centers in the Chicago area and to facilitate training for teams from around the United States including Newport News.

Our guest speaker, David Egan has always dreamed big. When he was eight, starting out as a Special Olympics swimmer, he dreamed of winning his races. As he grew, he looked to bigger goals-having a job and finding ways to change attitudes toward people with intellectual disabilities. David has been living his dream-and inspiring others to live theirs.
